Named after the big Powerdam that dominates the view of the Winnipeg River.
The most prominent feature of the village is the big hydro power dam which creates a big storage lake toward the town of St. George. The dam can be seen from far away and is used to house a wireless Internet tower, giving wireless Internet access all the way to Traverse Bay.
Powerview is popular in the Eastern Beaches area as it provides a large lumber yard, insurance agency and automotive repair. The RCMP office for the RM of Alexander is also located here.
